Photographer's Note

My favourite (i.e. most photographed) boat was going into the harbour of Ayia Marina while I was going home too, in the opposite direction. There was a new arrangement of low clouds but we could still see Turkey in the distance.

Must say I am a bit envy of the scenery you see on your daily walk home, Ourania, I see mostly grey houses in town...
Fine clear shot, with Turkey not in a great distance on the horizon.
Living in a small island you presumably know all the local people and the names of the boats.

Hello Ourania,
I get a feeling that this day had been rather cloudy, maybe even with some rain, but now in the evening the sky is getting clearer. As darkness is about to fall the sky still has a touch of pink or orange that has created a cosy and pleasant atmosphere. The sea is quiet and the fishermen (?) hopefully had a good day at work. Hopefully you were also satisfied with the day, having taught your students some new pieces of English grammar, and happy to end the day with a shot like this. I enjoy the inclusion of the flower-pot standing on the wall to the right. It's really very small (about the size of the boat) but is a very important part of the composition.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hi Ourania, this charming postcard the fishing boat coming home at sunset with beautiful sky background, beautifully captured in this great and beautiful photography. Wonderful image that gives peace, very good sharpness, depth and quality. A great job well done, congratulations my friend. Thanks for sharing this beautiful work.

Good evening and happy start to the week.
Warm greetings from southern Spain.

Hello Ourania,
A fine shot containing so many elements of nature, the sea, the sky, the clouds, the hills, superb!
I love the diffused light from the sky even though sun is below the horizon it seems. It is magical.
The boat and the hint that their are passengers on it adds life to your photo.
A well captured beautiful scenery. Thanks for sharing.

Hello Ourania,
A lovely view of an elegant boat. All the boats here a made of fiberglass (or similar synthetic material) with oversized engines. Now, I understand the use of synthetic material, supposedly, they are easier to maintain. But why do they need to be that fast? Why are people in such a hurry? I miss the graceful movements of old world boats.
Regards,

Hello Ourania,
Another excellent photo. Wonderful mood and composition with some lovely and fascinating waterscape showing the beautifully balanced colours of the place with the excellent water reflection just pulling you right in there. Wonderful contrasts too with all those little bright colour of the sky in the backdrop. I think the shimmering steel water color gives a real punch to the image A fine peaceful shot. The boat is very well placed in the frame. Congrats.
Greetings

Hello Ourania,
A very pleasant view to take in on your way home from work. The image is well composed with the ferry nicely counterbalanced by the corner of the quayside. I like the low light and very peaceful atmosphere. Very pleasant understated colours.

Hi Ourania,
This is a beautiful scene, and more special that it contains your own favorite boat :) The clouds have a strange appearance, it reminds me a little of an atlas of the world! Its created beautiful colors. Amazing that you can stand here and see the coast of Turkey too, I never realized they were so close! The plant pot on the right hand side stands out nicely too!
All the best
Noel

Hello Ourania,
beautiful and having special,kind of nostalgic feeling scene!
I like the composition with the lonely boat,but also this moody light,which helps you to create so charming atmosphere of the scene.
Of course the clouds are also important part of the whole composition,but for me the most captivating thing is the light I´ve already mentioned.
Lovely,evocative image!

Hola dear Ourania
Simple and creative composition with the boat returning home in a so quiet sea that reflects the pink cloudes
But the touch of creativity, a smart one, is given by the pot with the flower, a good way to end the day
Can you send some smoke greetings to Chris, working in Turkey?

About architecture, old houses in old times (only 400 years ago) were white , now owners like to add some color around windows and doors, white ones remainds but few
Have a good day ahead
